tain aasumed specific characters — a highly important philosophic treatise npon 

 the general subject, which is discnssed at length with force and logical con- 

 sistency ; the author's broad views upon this subject had at once a marked 

 intiuence upon ornithological thought. Variation in general size and proportion 

 of parts, both individual and climatic, are illustrated with numerous tables of 

 measurements. An essay on species and varieties follows. Part IV, List of the 

 "Winter Birds of East Florida, with annotations, — field-notes, measurements, and 

 much synonymy and technical criticism. Part V, On the Geographical Distribu- 

 tion of the Birds of Eastern North America, with special reference to the number 

 and circumscription of the Ornithological Faunas. After general introductory 

 remarks, the natural Provinces of the North American Temperate Region are 

 discussed, and the Ornithological Faunas of the Eastern Province are treated. 

 The following Faunte .ire laid down and characterized : — I. Floridan. 2. Louis- 

 ianian. 3. Carolinian. 4. Alleghanian. 5. Canadian. 6. Hudsonian. 7. Ameri- 

 can Arctic. Various tabular summaries follow, with general remarks on the 

 distribution and migration of the birds of the Eastern Province. A copious 

 bibliography of American Ornithological literature concludes. The plates illus- 

 trate the variation in the bill of many species. The article gained the Humboldt 

 Scholarship, andis one of the most important of American ornithological works.

A reissue of the 8vo 8- vol. ed. of 1865. In citing these 8- vol. eds. be careful to 

 BO state, for the pagination changes from the orig. 7-vol. 8vo ed., 1840-44. The 

 numeration of the plates, however, is the same. No one should cite Audubon 

 later than 1840-44 without specifying which of the several editions he means.
